I recently got a 5Dmk3 and it's been a really fun toy so far. I'm coming from a Canon 7D, so I'm trying to adjust to the much more complicated autofocus system. I've read the manual and looked around ...

What zoom lens would you recommend for baseball games? I just bought a Canon SL1 and am not sure what lens size would be best. The camera came with the 18-55 zoom lens.
I've looked at 55-250 lenses ...

What are some pros and cons of each? I use a Nikon D600 and am looking for my 50mm. I shoot a lot of video, so a smooth manual control is important to me. Besides that, I am unsure of what exactly I ...

A lot of lenses have very few aperture blades (especially budget lenses). A large number of aperture blades can make a real difference to the bokeh and seems like it should be a priority for the lens ...

I use Canon EOS 600D and I want a lens with a larger range. I found out Tamron 16-300 f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro Lens, I added it into my wishlist.
I did some research on it and I'm scared that it ...

I use Nikon 35mm f/2d lense on my Nikon D90 but I am unable to change aperture of lens.

I'm looking at 14mm Rokinon f1.8 lenses for astrophotography.
I keep seeing the Built-in AE Chip for Nikon.
What does the chip do?
I realize I have to use manual focus and actually everything manual.

I'm not sure if this already has been asked... Also, it's probably a stupid question.
I have a Canon EOS 1000 film camera, which has an EF-mount. I want to use the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II lens, but I'm ...

I just saw these blue/purple spots underneath my lens (attached here). This is a Nikon D90 which has the Nikkor 18-105 mm lens mounted on it. I haven't used it for maybe 2 months now, and I kept it ...

I have a Canon 50d with an 18-200 lens, I use it mostly to take photos of my kids, on auto. I have an aquaintance that is selling an 18-55, a 55-250, and a 17-300. Will I be getting far better photos ...

I'm working in computer vision and choosing the right lens is obviously as critical as having a good sensor if you're going for quality inspection (for example).
Sadly I have very little experience ...

I've been trying to duplicate the depth of field like in these photos on snowy nights and I'm not getting comparable results. I'm using a 35mm prime lens at f/1.8 on a D3100. So my question is: Are ...

First post on here so I'll try and put a bit of background. I'm brand new to taking "proper" photographs and want to get started in landscape photography as a hobby after seeing some great pictures ...

I have read some posts like the ones below about testing a lens to determine how well it performs optically. What I didn't see was anything on determining whether the lens performs as it should and is ...

I have a Tamron Minolta AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 LD aspherical macro lens, which I would like to use on a Canon EOS 600D or Nikon D5200 DSLR. The lens was used on a film SLR Minolta camera. Is there an ...

I'm looking to buy a Sony mirrorless camera. The draw back is the expense of extra lenses as Sony really is proud of their products. Has anyone here tried using a Canon EF lens on a Sony mirrorless ...

I own a Sony A77 APS-C SLT A-mount camera. For someone who likes to experiment and is on a budget, mount adapters are tempting, since they greatly expand the catalog of available lenses and open up ...

I accidentally dropped my Nikon D3200 with a 18-55 mm lens about a foot onto a hard carpet. It originally looked ok, however I soon realised it wasn't focusing. I saw that the focus wheel was jammed ...

1I bought the Canon zoom STM lens recently, and used it a couple of times indoors and just yesterday took it outside. Then I noticed a little dot , or what it seems like dust (the actual size might be ...

I just got this lens and I really love it, but I can't seem to figure out why it will only take pictures at f/1.8. If I attempt to change the lens aperture setting, it says the aperture must be set at ...

It seems that the fisheye effect can look different with the same lens.
So I want to understand how it works.
For example, I use a Dji Phantom vision 2 drone to take pictures, all of my pictures have ...

Silly question. I have a Nikon D5100, that unfortunately just needed to go in for service. I am trying to make sure I don't do whatever I did again. I just got a new 500mm lens, it is quite heavy. Is ...

I recently picked up an Olympus OMZ 50mm f1.8 pretty cheaply of ebay. The front element has a slight mould on the rear side although so far I've not seen this affect the image quality.
Disassembling ...

Posted on FaceBook looking for volunteers to model for me for free and I give them the photos for free and some people agreed to that so I want to be prepared and at least take the right gear to the ...

My budget range: Don't want to spend more than $1000.00
My goal: Taking nice portrait shots with bokeh and blurry backgrounds in non-studio places like standing next to a graffiti wall in a street.
